Parent and Student Comments
- This was my favorite science class - I actually learned the material!
- Physics is a subject of great interest to our family (as you well know by now), and being able to participate in a class setting with you has been a great experience for John-Arthur.
- The word is getting around that you are a great teacher with a great class!
- She LOVED you and your class! I think she could become a physicist if you could teach her all through school.
- THANK YOU for teaching so well! We will all miss you. This was a highlight of Catie's high school experience.
- Christine is enjoying your class! She says that it is delightful! She really enjoys that some example problems are done in class and the fact that it is “ok to ask questions” when she doesn’t understand something. Thanks for doing a great job with the class and for making science enjoyable!
- Thank you for taking the time to teach our physics class. You make the class fun and interesting. I’ve enjoyed science this year a lot more then I have in the previous years because of you. I’m also feeling like I’m learning and understanding concepts that will be incredibly important to my college education. You’ve not only helped me with physics, but with other study tips like reading the full question and remembering the units in a given problem. I wanted to thank you for all of this.
